DISPLAY THE FIRST EVENT IN THE LIST:
Move to the first event in
the list (the top of the EDL) either by pressing the up arrow several times
or by pressing [GO TO]+[up arrow].
I.
PREVIEW THE SCENES:
Press [PREVIEW]. Edit Suite will—
• blink the POWER LED and turn off the other LEDs
• rewind the tape in your source VCR to a position in front of your first
scene
• cue the tape to move closer to the scene
• play until five seconds from the scene, then beep once to alert you that
your scene is about to start
• play your scene, beeping at the start of the scene and again at the end
of the scene.
Next, Edit Suite will display the second event in the LCD, and repeat the
above steps. After all scenes are complete, Edit Suite will beep three times,
stop blinking the POWER LED, and resume displaying/blinking the
ABCD LEDs.
J.
RECORD THE SCENES:
Load a tape in the record VCR. If your recorder
uses 422 protocol, follow the instructions in your VCR manual to prestripe
black on the tape, then position the tape about one minute (or more) from
the start. If your recorder is IR-controlled, put the VCR in Record Pause.
Press [GO TO]+[up arrow] to return to the first event, then press
[SHIFT]+[AUTO REC] to start recording. Again, the POWER LED will
blink and the other LEDs will be turned off. Edit Suite will beep once five
seconds before each scene, then three times when the auto-record is
completed. You can abort an auto record or a preview at any time by
pressing [ALL STOP] or the [Stop] transport key.
NOTE:
If you inadvertently pressed [REC] instead of [SHIFT]+[AUTO REC],
the record VCR was started and a new event was created. This is called an
Assemble Edit and is described in Chapter 4. Press [ALL STOP] to stop all
VCRs, press [OK] to display the newly created event, then press
[[CUT] to delete the event. After the event is deleted, repeat Step J.
After the record is complete, press [ALL STOP] to stop the VCRs. ALL
STOP will not stop an IR-controlled VCR. You will have to take it out of
Record-Pause manually.
If you do not have a mixer or switcher or if you have only one source VCR, this
concludes the
Getting Started
section. Review Chapter 2, then read Chapters 4
and 5 to learn about assemble and auto-assemble editing and each type of
event that can be used with Edit Suite. To add accuracy to your edits, read
Chapter 7,
